Review
'These stories are delightful and Betera’s illustrations glow." —Niamh Sharkey, former Irish Children's Laureate.
"Gentle and yet full of action and humour, Alexandra brings to mind the Alfie stories by Shirley Hughes, with the economy of language and the rhythm and pace built into the stories. . . . The simplicity of expression in the pictures and the writing work hand in hand to create a book that will be cherished and read again and again and again." —Inis Magazine
